changes. in the manual it says that the following filters are fitted YK-88C
and YK-88SN...these various setting are for usb / lsb / cw / fsk / am / and
fm is fixed at 12hz.
i am looking to sell this receiver its in 100%working order.
the condition is ok has a few marks nothing serious....
serious offers taken on this receiver..

The YK-88C is the 500 Hz CW filter, and the YK-88SN is the 1.8 kHz filter, the
2.4 kHz and the 6 kHz were standard equipment in the radio as I recall.

The 5000 is a pretty nice sounding radio. I had one for several years.

As an additional thought, what I did when I got the radio was to swap out the
stock 6 kHz filter for a better aftermarket one that had better skirt selectivity.
The original is just a bit broad at 60 dB down. Cleaned things up quite nicely.
